A Sensible Saving.

How is this for little mathematical cal.
culationS II you are paying 35 cents for
butter-not always the most satisfactory
and use a pound day, that is $l0.50 a
month. Now butterine-warranted to re-
tain its sweetness and not to become strong
or rancid--can be bought for 90 cents per
pound, which is SO month. That's a say.
Ing Of "a. so a month. Now, wherein Is It a
sensible savipg2 Butterlue is not butter.
Granted. But butterine is wholesome, re.
liable, and sold for Just what It Is. Mr.. W.
Q. Scribner, the District agent, very frankly
admits that be could put butteriue on his
counters, and, by calling It butter (or rather
by not saying that IL is not butter), he could
sell more Of 1t at 80 or 35 cents a pound
than he can by offering II merely as but
teriue at 90 or 25 cents. 1t is a sensible
saving because you know Just what you are
buying, and, II you pay higher price for
what may prove unsatisfactory, do not
think II nearly as sensible as TO pay the less
price for what, II not perfectly satisfactory,
may be returned and the money will be re
funded. AS a matter Of fact 1t is quite as
healthfu to eat good butteilne as to use
poor butter; and II you allow your prejudice
to govern your stomach, why dyspepsia will
be the least Of tho evils you will have to
contend with. Mr.. Scribner's stalls are 10
